Platform Adopted.

HARRISBURG, Pa, August lT.--The
following are the national features of
the platform adopted by the republi-
can state convention: IL reailirms the
convention of 1886 is in favor of sub
mitting to ~ vote OF the people pro-
hibitcry constitutional amendment and
endorses the act of the last legislature
in submission making suffrage free
by abolishing the tax qualification; it
favors II tariff for the sake OF nurturing
American manufactures; demands
the passage of more vigorous national
laws for restricting immigratiOn cx-
presses adherence for anarchistic
ideas, and demands that any violation
of law by this class be met with severe
punishment; il favors the creation OF
an American marine; declares that
the surplus of the treasury can not be
better expended than in the enlarge
ment of the general pension list, so as
to include all honorably discharged
soldiers who may be in need; it ar
raigns the democratic party and the
present national administration for
general imbecility in dealing with all
national questions; affirming that the
only energy they have exhibited has
been in the displacement Of eXperi-
enced officers and in direct violation
Of their civil service pledges; charges
President Cleveland with endcavoring
to nurture sectionalism, i'll order to
preserve {. solid democratic south, by
preference to distinguished stations OF
soldiers prominent in efforts to destroy
the government, by his refusal to sane
ton pensions to soldiers eminent i'll
the effort to sustain it, and by his
"rebel flag" order. Resolutions were
also adopted denouncing discrimina-
tion against the colored race in the
south, and extending sympathy and
greeting to Gladstone, Parnell and as

The Devils Auction.

Last night the Pavilion contained
an immense audience attracted by the
announcement OF the rendition Of
Gilmorc's great spectacular play, "The
Devils Auction" That the perform
ance was thoroughly appreciated need
ed only the continued bursts of up-
plause to prove. There is nothing to
the play itself. A slender thread of a
plot connects one part with another,
but the feature is the continual scenic
surprises and the specialt;es that are
thickly scattered through the three
acts. These features surpassed any
thing of like kind ever before seen in
this city, and the combination makes
the "Devils Auction" an intensely in
teresting and enjoyable performance.
Considering the crudity Of the stage and
the drawbacks to be contended against
and the troupe is to be congratulated
upon the fine presentation of the play
in this city. The transformations
were handsome and very cleverly
executed. The ballet was very pretty,
and the Kaleidoscope maneuvres of
the dancers made II very attractive
picture. The ballet showed careful
training while the dancing was rhyth-
mic and novel. The kikapoO quar-
tette, the Lorollas in their grotesque
pastimes, the Chinese dancing aud
Juggling were immense. There was
nothing in thu performance with
which the most exacting could take
Offense, and altogether there has sel-
dom been seen y better pleased audi
ence IN Spokane Falls.
